Pacemaker cells of the stomach
Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker cells of the stomach

He said when the pacemaker pacing, at the echo looks like hypokinesis. The LV didn't contracted at the same time as RV (paced). Left side is a bit lazy, didn't catch up to the right side speed. My EF is 55 - 59.
No one wants to hear the dizzy spells, they said the pacemaker can cover it. The day when I wore the holter monitor, I was very dizzy like walking on the space. The QTc came out 675. I'm wondering was the dizziness caused by QTc or not?
Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat. But, if a particular group of cells in areas remote from the SA node become extra- or hyper-excitable they can take over as the pacemaker for one or several beats, or for a longer term.
You might think of the heart's cells as a schoolyard full of young boys playing soccer.
when they went in to replace that lead they found the other lead off, they also found a black oily substance on my pacemaker. the pacemaker company was called, they told the dr to replace it free of charge. we have no idea what the substance was. the dr said he had never seen anything like it. we are waiting to hear from the company. since then i have been hospitalized twice, because my heart feels like it is skipping beats. now i have facial and neck swelling.
It's interesting that everyone has irregular beats--but most people simply don't feel them. We sensitive types do.
Perhaps you've read what actually happens during an ectopic beat? If not, here's a simplified rundown:
The 'Pacemaker' in the upper right atrium normally sets the heart rate, but it's important to know that every cardiac cell in the heart is naturally rhythmic and contractile.

The sinus atrial node is a clump of cells in your heart that put out an electrical current that causes the rest of your cells in the atrial center of your heart to contract. The electrical current continues into the ventricular node and causes the bottom of the heart to contract immediately after that.
Yes, the condition can infect the heart's natural pacemaker. The heart's "natural" pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node. It's a small mass of specialized cells in the top of the heart's right atrium (upper chamber). It makes the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat.
This goes all the way down to the bottom of the heart. The front of the left ventricle has a small part that is also receiving less oxygen. Diminished means less or smaller, so unless they've used the wrong terminology, I would suspect the heart muscle is alive but not receiving enough oxygen for exertion. If that amount was scar tissue, I would suspect you would be experiencing all kinds of serious health issues.
However, apart from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and bone marrow cells, little is known about the specific cell types that permit viral replication. In this study, we assessed the extrahepatic tissues of four patients who died with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and two uninfected controls by means of in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical study. Three of these patients had diffuse extrahepatic distribution of the virus.
And two, in the setting of this A fib and a slow heart rhythm, putting in a pacemaker may reduce the amount of atrial fibrillation you're having. But more importantly, the presence of a pacemaker will allow your doctor to put you on anti-arrhythmic medications safely.
If you have a tendency for a very slow heart rhythm, if you were placed on and anti-arrhythmic medication, your heart rate may get so slow you could get dizzy or pass out.
s very worst is based in part on the fact that there are several sites in the stomach where the main pacemaker cells to trigger stomach contractions are found. In traditional chinese medicine, the deeper organs can be accessed by more peripheral local points on the arms, legs, and body - some of those points connect up with the stomach. So it's very worth a try. There are also chinese herbs that could be tried.
do you have an ICD/defrillator also?
If i have delayed stomach empyting then the surgeon mentioned the pacemaker. Not sure, as an alternative or aswell. Today I go for my endoscopy and he may have the results of my stomach empyting scan.
I have looked at alternatives but apparently I am too far advanced for some of the different procedures. Catch 22 really.
I am really looking for guidance from someone who has the stomach pacemaker or had one and how they found it. Thank you for your posting.
Why are you even commenting if you dont know what your talking about.
When I do any exercise that really contracts the muscle that my pacemaker lies under, I pay attention to how it feels and stop or switch positions if it feels like it is putting too much pressure on the pacemaker. If your pacemaker has been implanted recently, be especially careful for the first few months while the scar tissue grows to hold the pacer and leads in place.
Kathy Hansen went online to research treatments and found the Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where doctors could insert a pacemaker into her stomach. The pacemaker acts similarly to a heart pacemaker, sending signals that cause the stomach muscles to contract at the right times so that Gentrie could eat.

d suppose that they hope/expect some cells stick there in the heart and then do their magic. The cells can be gotten from such places as the marrow (naturally, because of the hematopoeitic stem cells used in blood cancer therapy), but also from fat or muscle areas.
There is a presentation that was given at Hypertension2008 in Berlin this past summer, on the same topic, which stated that this approach is used more post-MI than in HF. They had some dramatic results in that setting, too.
Are you having problems with just your large intestine, or also your small intestine. The way a gastric pacemaker works is that is helps the symptoms of nausea and vomiting that go along with gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach) but it doesn't actually speed of emptying of the stomach. So I don't see how a colonic pacemaker would work, if it used the same means as a gastric pacemaker.
(Which is the side she has always slept on.) The book says NOT to sleep on your stomach. How about the side of the pacemaker??? Thanks for your help. I can tell her sleepless nights are catching up on her.
